 The Pentagon’s Response
baz, Saturday, Jan 15 2011, 7:54pm
Never ever assume you’ve seen or heard the worst from the USA, as the sociopaths that rule that nation never cease assailing honour, truth, justice, morality and integrity. Just when you think that nation couldn’t possibly sink any lower, the bar of common decency and morality is lowered AGAIN. (story and 1 image)

 Hey America!

Maintaining military occupations in foreign lands in the 21st century is simply UNTENABLE – didn’t you know? Experts are aware you have already lost the most important battle of your war for world supremacy – the battle for the hearts and minds of the population of the WORLD.

War Crimes Incorporated
gan, Thursday, Jan 13 2011, 8:33pm
Today’s unwanted but NECESSARY home Truth is, Drone ‘warfare’ is a WAR CRIME. It kills far more civilians than combatants. It fuels VEHEMENT opposition to the U.S. and its puppet allies. But worst of all, it clearly indicates the FAILURE of the U.S. military and their best strategists to deal legally with modern warfare. (story and 1 comment)

Assange, a 'martini-drinking' common blackmailer

No one in the spotlight is really able hide their true nature; every action, from subtle facial expressions to overt behaviour and emphatic discourse reveals much and so it is with onetime media glamour boy, Julian Assange. (story and 1 image)

Yes, we CAN RESTORE our DEMOCRACIES
paladin, Wednesday, Jan 12 2011, 7:28am
The following video is an INSPIRING compilation of speeches and responses by Jack Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Texan Libertarian, Ron Paul.
The conservative executive, Bankers and Corporatists behind them, had two of these men assassinated; is it not time to bring today's KNOWN criminals to trial? The criminal Corporatist elites have wrought so much misery and havoc on the world that we simply cannot allow it to continue.. YES WE CAN RID OURSELVES OF THE CRIMINAL FILTH THAT HAVE HIJACKED OUR GOVERNMENTS AND DEMOCRACIES. (story and 2 comments)

The ‘LAW’ -- Don’t Make Me Laugh!
stylus, Tuesday, Jan 11 2011, 10:29pm
The World today has been built on the backs (sweat, blood, hardship and tears) of average hard working men and women, the producers of real things in a REAL WORLD; minority elites would ignore this FACT at their own peril! (story and 2 comments and 3 images)

Rumsfeld’s Book Release – 'Known and Unknown'
quill, Sunday, Jan 9 2011, 6:52pm
Call me old fashioned but I cannot for the life of me understand why or how a ‘KNOWN’ WAR CRIMINAL is able to brazenly engage in a tawdry exercise of revisionism, self-justification and apologetics for one of the most incompetent and criminal regimes in U.S. history.

Racial Divide USA
swift, Sunday, Jan 9 2011, 8:09am
Think of the LEGION of Corporate and Wall St criminals that instigate wars, corrupt our governments, destroy global economies, pollute our planet, destroy our jobs and continue to receive bonuses. Contrast the treatment of brazen 'white' collar criminals with the unjust VICTIMIZATION of blacks and other racial minorities in America.
The United States is not becoming a Police State, it IS a Police State, as this shocking video clearly indicates.

Pentagon Guilty of Criminal Negligence in Iraq -- countless lives needlessly lost
swift, Friday, Jan 7 2011, 9:12pm
The following story does an admirable job of describing past events that clearly reveal the incompetence and bungling of the US military during its illegal invasion of Iraq. Indeed, any person, organisation or nation that has had any experience with the yanks knows only too well the lack of expertise, gross negligence and dangerous rustic arrogance that characterises everything American, including its Corporate controlled military. But the story fails miserably in ONE critical area, ANALYSIS! (story and 1 image)

America's Next Failure: the Police State
Prof John Kozy via stan, Friday, Jan 7 2011, 7:06am
Every police force in the nation has cold (unsolved) cases. The War on Drugs has been ineffective for more than forty years. No one knows where a vast number of illegal immigrants even are. The CIA has been unable to locate Osama bin Laden after more than ten years of searching. Your local police cannot protect you from burglaries, drive by shootings, rapes, domestic abuse, or murder—even with the help of most ordinary citizens. The situation is so bad that numerous legislatures have legalized the carrying of loaded weapons so that ordinary people can protect themselves which is a complete abdication of the usual view that people should not take the law into their own hands. So what in the world would make anyone believe that policing can protect us from terrorists?

Military Officers for 911 Truth

Gay American Novelist Rolls in Pink Grave
snowy, Wednesday, Jan 5 2011, 10:48pm
Mark Twain, famous homosexual social commentator, journalist, raconteur, novelist and adventurer must be having a fit in fag heaven at the moment. An oft quoted Twainian statement, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is … the difference between the lightening bug and lightning," becomes highly relevant today as the U.S., in true Orwellian mode, and without any intervention from the Capitol, flagrantly attempts to re-write American history.

U.S. Fears Becoming ‘Paper Tiger’

“Darrell Issa, who will take over as chairman of the House of Representatives oversight committee and is calling for Mr Holder's resignation, said of Mr Assange in an interview on Sunday: ''If the President says, 'I can't deal with this guy as a terrorist,' then he has to be able to deal with him as a criminal. Otherwise the world is laughing at this paper tiger we've become.'' (story and 1 comment)

Al Gore's Role in the Goldman Sachs Carbon Con
Richard Pollock via baz, Sunday, Jan 2 2011, 7:42pm
Major Corporate Polluters must be penalised in order to stem the flow of poisons into the environment and as we are aware Corporations PATHOLOGICALLY avoid additional costs. WE must therefore exercise constant VIGILANCE in order to prevent polluters avoiding or shifting responsibility to the public.
The Corporate sector makes astronomical PROFITS that are easily able to absorb the additional cost of cleaner energy production. The Corporations have for far too long avoided safety and low pollution protocols, which decease their profits. It is time that their ill gotten gains were utilised for compensation, reparation and clean energy. Whether or not those additional costs result in low profits is not an issue, as it is the planet and life on earth at stake.
The Corporations must not be allowed to AVOID RESPONSIBILITY and SHIFT the BLAME and COSTS of THEIR polluting onto others. Goldman Sachs (and friends) would have the public pay for their mistakes while continuing to extract profits. The following article reveals the sordid machinations behind the plan to create enormous profits from Carbon Trading. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

The Bleating Independent Media
quill, Sunday, Jan 2 2011, 10:30am
It’s bad enough we are faced with the gross omissions and managed ‘news’ of the Corporate Propaganda Media, but surely, do we really need the misdirected focus of the Independents? The Alternative media prides itself on giving us the news mainstream outlets either ignore, dilute or misrepresent, and in most cases they do an admirable job, however, one HUGE error they share in common is the constant attribution/focus on the so-called, ‘ruling elite,’ as the source of all our social woes.

 America the ‘Free’
stylus, Saturday, Jan 1 2011, 9:51pm
While America succumbs to the control of a CRIMINAL global, stateless, borderless, Transnational, Corporate/Banker elite that no longer feels it necessary to function in the shadows, the FREE WORLD takes stock of recent events and begins slowly, deliberately but ever so efficiently, to target those nefarious forces that have PROVEN BEYOND ALL DOUBT that they hold what civilised humanity considers sacred, the natural world, human life, our highest aspirations and noble values, in the utmost contempt -- especially if THEIR existence or monetary PROFITS are threatened.
